Shownotes:

We had a great deal of fun in this first live recording (on-location somewhere.) We had a great discussion with a couple of cool ATDC companies (Simcraft & Emcien), and also got a chance to talk to three non-ATDC companies that are doing some good things (BigContacts, OMT Energy, & Jobkabob). Barbara Stafford stopped by as well, and we had a “small” discussion on the nano sector. Good fun!

Tune in and find out!

Our format is a little out of the norm as far as podcasts go. We treat our efforts as a true “show” rather than a super-concise (limited) vehicle for delivery of information. Therefore, the podcasts can run a bit long (actually, it is largely driven by the guests and their responses.) While we try to have very substantive discussions, we also try to have a lot of fun along the way (and that tends to elongate the programming a wee bit.) Our theory is that if we are having fun during the show, hopefully, you will be having a little fun listening as well.

Here is the breakdown for the show, in case you want to hop around.

A special thanks to all of our guests for stopping by and hanging out with us!

We’ll be back soon with Jason Caplain of Southern Capitol Ventures, where we’ll chat about venture trends, the southeast, our Capital Connections event and of course, Jason’s open pitch sessions.
